MBA On Demand

Employment Law for Lawyers

Note: Start Celebrating Member Appreciation Week early with a
sneak preview, FREE for members only.

If you are a sole practitioner or a partner in a small firm, you are likely
well-versed in your core substantive practice areas. But how much do you know
about the laws and regulations governing you and your clients as employers?

Adding new lawyers, paralegals and support staff can become a time-consuming
and costly learning experience if you're not familiar with the legal and
administrative issues that come with personnel management. No matter your area
of practice, ask yourself if you can confidently agree with all of the following
statements about your firm:

All of the employees to whom we pay a salary are genuinely "exempt" from
overtime under both state law and the federal Department of Labor's new
overtime regulations.

We understand the pros, cons and risks of obtaining workers through
temporary agencies and employee leasing services, and have contractual
language in place to protect us.

The people who conduct interviews at our firm never ask illegal questions.

We have a personnel manual that includes all "must have" policies,
including a sexual harassment policy that complies with Massachusetts law.

Our practices with respect to vacation, sick days and other benefits are
fair, consistent and in accordance with applicable law.

We know exactly how to effectively and lawfully deal with chronic
absenteeism and leaves of absence.

We always use progressive discipline, and can handle any termination while
minimizing the risk of being sued.

When business slows down, we know how to conduct a layoff, reduce hours or
enact other cost-saving measures without risk of liability.

Join us for this highly practical and interactive seminar, and listen to
experienced employment law practitioners from different perspectives discuss
common employment law issues faced by law practices.
